There are reports mere numerous
than ever, of new inventions, new ap-
piicatIon Of old principles, and .
fitting and adjusting Of processes to
the treatment of the various grades
and classes OF ores, which are SO
widely different in their character
and requirements. All these things
augur in the end, the removal OF one
obstacle after another, and widen
ing OF the field OF profitable working
and treatment of ores. There is .
general tendency among old and
practical mining men to sneer at new
processes and TO give but Indifferent
encouragement To the attempts that
have been repeatedly made to i'm
prove upon the primitive and accept
ed methods. This is not always the
best method TO pursue, for it is well
known that the limit of knowledge
has, by no means, been reached in
any branch of meta!lurgical science.
The history of advancement, in any
line Of human enterprise, has been
reached step by step, by the wrecks
of theories and experiments. Re-
peated trials, failures, accidents and
discouragements have been the monu-
ments which have guided men to the
successes they have achieved. The
highest pinnacle Of human advance
ment to-day. is built upon a founda-
tion of failure and disappointment.
The mining field presents a CON-
plex and difficult problem for solu-
ton, snd in some respects, it may be
strongly urged that the change has
been slow, and that in some locslities
the same methods and appliances may
be seen in operation, which were in
use century ago.
While it must be admitted that
much loss, extravaganza and crudIty
may be found, it is also true that the
regular and positive improvement
here has, considering all things, kept
even pace with that evidenced in any
other enterprise.

An Ingenious Clock

Another great clock has been ad-
ded to the horological wonders of
the world-a piece of mechanism that
will vie with the elaborate marvel of
Strasburg Cathedral, and put the
professional curiosity of Berne Tower
into the Shade. The latest effort of
the renowned Christian Martin of
Villtgeu, in the Black Forest, is said,
IN its way, to surpass anything OF the
kind yet attempted. 1t is three and
Il half meters high, two and three
quarters broad, and shows the seconds,
minutes, quarter-hours, days, weeks,
months, the four seasons, the years,
and leap years until the last sound of
the year 1899 of the Christian era.
Moreover, it tells on its face the
correct time for various laritudes, to-
gether with the phases of the moon
and variety of useful information
generally confined to the pages of an
almanac.
1t also contains vast number of
working figures representing the life
of man, the creed os Christendom,
and the ancient pagan and Teutonic
mythologies. Sixty separate and in
dividualized statuettss strike the six
ty minutes. Death is represented as
in Holbein's famous "Dance," in the
form of skeleton. In another part
appear the twelve apostles, the seven
ages of man, modelled after the de-
scription of Shakespeare, the four
seasons, the twelve signs OF the zodiac
aud so on.
During the night time a watchman
sallies forth, and blows the hour upon
his horn; while at sunrise chanticleer
appears and crows Justify. The cuckoo
also calls, but only once a year-on
the first day in spring. Besides these
figures there is whole series of
movable figures in enamel, exhibiting
in succession the seven days of crea-
ton aud tho fourteen Stations of the
Gross. At q certain hour a little
sacristan rings bell in the spire, and
kneels down and folds his hands, as
in prayer; and, above all, the music
al works are said to have sweet
and delicious fute-like tone.-IS St
James Gazattc.

and better. The Idahoan is one of

STATESMAN: We regret to learn
that our neighbors in Caldwell are
having considerable trouble relative
to the erection of their proposed new
school building. The district almost
unanimously voted $1,000 for school
house; but now the enterprise IS in
danger of coming to nothing through
internal dissensions. Some demand
that the Land Improvement Company
shall denote the site, which that COM
pany refuses to do. The danger is
that nothing will be done.

The Forest King mine, was not
sold, as reported. The bond the St.
Louis company has on the mine ex-
pired Yesterday. This company
asked for an extension of time on the
bond, but the Forest King company
refused to grant further time. This
is all evidence that they are not
anxious to sell, and that the mine has
IA value greater than they estimated a
few weeks ago. They have extended
both the east and west drifts aud
opened bodies of ore in both ends as
good or better than any that mine
has heretofore turned out. The For
est King is a first-rate mine to hold
on to, and the owners fully realize
that fact. They are not hunting for
buyers; at any rate not at the figures
at which they bonded it to the St.
Louis company.

THE COBURN WILL CASE
IL Is argued at Portland and n Decision Is
Awaited.

The DILL in equity for the construction of
the will of the late ex Gov. Coburn was argued
before the full bench in Portland on Monday
last. The bill was brought by the heirs.
chiefly TO test the validity of the legacies be-
queathed by the will to institutions of charity.
1t was claimed by some of the heirs that these
requests were void because the principil be-
queathed was made insliensble perpetually.
But to this il was answered that the requests
were for charitable uses and therefore good.
The cause was opened in behalf of the execn-
tors by Hon. f. F Webb who was followed
by d ID. Stewart Esq in behalf of contest
ing heirs, and the closing argument in be-
half of the legatees was made by Orville ID.
Baker, Esq. A decision will probably be
rendered sometime next month.

A Teetotaler's Champagne.

There has been recently introduced to the
American public, new champagne, which
has the striking merit of being entirely non
alcoholic. and yet as agreeable to taste as
foreign wines. The name of this new bev-
erage is Lactart Champagne, prepared from
the celebrated Lsctart-the acid of butter.
milk which is said to be very beneficial to
digestion, while it is very healthful in all
other respects. Since the taste for drinks is
so widespread, beverage like the Lactart
Champagne, which is perfectly free from
alcohol. must be a boon to thousands. espec-
tally as it's pleasant taste and flavor can stand
comparison with the best of the imported
champagnes. 1t needs, as in fact all cham
psgnes do, to be taken directly off the ice,
and thoroughly cooled when served, as in
that way the vim and sparkle, and generally
invigorsting qualities are most marked and
enjoyable. The sale of the Lactart Cham
payne is already very large. augldeod&wlw
